Courtesy and politeness doesn't cost a cent, but either indicate the .true worth of the fellow who bestows it. Trade with the local merchants and do your part to keep business going briskly during the summer months. We don’t live in Louisiana, are thankful for it and sympathize with those who must live under Dictator Huey. Wonder what congressmen think when visitors from the home districts tell them they are visiting Washington on their vacation. Estimates on the government’s: share of the new tax-the-rich plaji are pretty good. They vary from $118,000,000 to $901,500,000 a year. Good guess. Day by day the program for the agriculture fair is being put together. It will be a big week and worth while events will be staged for the entertainment of the public. Chalk up the date —August 5 to 10th. The Rev. W. H. Werning of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has been invited to accept the pastorate of the Zion Lutheran church of Friedheim, in north Adams county. The ] community wishes to bid him welcome. He will find his congregation sincere and helpful and the people the finest on earth. The weather is about as changeable as human nature.

about the greatest dry spall In history and now the headlines tell of floods in New York and other states. Next year should be average, figuring on the breaks. The continued cooperation of city employes is asked by the council and city officials in the efficient management and operation of the city plant and departments. A fine spirit exists today and the result of everyone pulling together has brought forth fruit. Let’s al! keep pulling and help builn a finer town. Texas is to celebrate its 100 yeaxs of independence next year and plans are already underway for the big exposition. A world's fair will be held in Dallas, which to a great extent will portray the romance of the southwest. A plan similar to that followed in Chicago will be carried out and the state expects to be host to millions of Americans who will be attracted by the wonders of the exposition. Sheriff Brown, state police, local officers and Fort Wayne police did a good job of rounding up a gang of criminals. The men taken into custody are charged with several robberies in Adams and Allen counties and will now find that crime doesn’t pay. Gunmen may have their day, but sooner or later they run their course and generally wind up behind the bars or on the slab. The law enforcement authorities will continue their drive to clear the communities of these violators. Donald Stiver, new superintendent of the state police, told members of the force he was not interested in how good a politician they were, but in how good an officer they were. A training school for the officers is being held at the state fair grounds and the men ' prepared for the jobs they hope to 1 fill. Mr. Stiver predicted that eventually the state police department win be put on a strict civil service basis. Someone good at figures predicts that one baby in every three born in the United States will suffer from an auto accident sometime during his life. That s not a rosy future for the babies of the country, but at the rate auto accidents have occurred in the last few years, it is true. Last year 36,000 persons were killed in auto accidents. When one-way traffic lanes are built throughout the country, the accident and death rate will be reduced and that seems about the only way to keep the toll from mounting to 50,000 yearly. < Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two.

Switched Stand Washington, July 10 — <U.R> — Thomas Corcoran, youthful braintruster, charged before the house utility lobbying inquiry today that Rep. Ralph O. Brewster, R., Me., switched his stand on the utilities “death sentence” because “he was afraid of the political situation.” Corcoran’s charge came as he testified under cross-examination regarding his story of events leading up to Brewster's vote against

the “death sentence.” Nearby as Corcoran talked sat Brewster who yesterday interrupted the hearing with a shout of “you're a liar” at Corcoran. Corcoran said today that he observed that Brewster, whom he had been led to believe would vote for the “death sentence,” was “cooling off.” “He was afraid of the political situation,” Corcoran testified. It was Brewster’s charge in the house that Corcoran threatened to halt -work on the $36.000 000 Passamaquoddy power project in I Maine if he voted against the “death sentence” which precipitated the inquiry before the house rules committee. Corcoran said he found Brewster “affable” during conversations concerning Passamaquoddy in weeks preceding the utilities fight. “While pursuing the $36,000,000 Passamaquoddy fund,” testified Corcoran. “Brewster had been on my neck.” “I was a little hot after he cooled off,” Corcoran said. Asserting that he couldn't have halted Passamaquoddy a? Brewster charged, Corcoran said final decision on the project “had been made and the ground spaded” before the utilities matter came up. o Truck load of Michigan cherries: black and red raspberries.

NOTED EDITOR ENOS OWN LIFE Illness And Despondency Blamed For Suicide Os Ray Long Beverly Hills. Cal.. ~ (II p) — Illness and desp< S blamed today for the suicide of Ray Long, noted tor. literary critic and Long shot himself last nigh a small caliber rifle. He was found, clad in sil 1 jamas, on the floor of the bedroom of his home. v,„» r lne A maid. Helen Arndt, hearing the shot, ran to the room and found him dying. Unconscious, he was taken to Beverly Hills hospital ™ operation was performed. He died a half hour later. Long had been ill for the last few weeks, friends declared. Prior to retiring to his room last nigh . the maid reported, he seemed unusually morose. He had been 1 ia dark mood all afternoon, she said. Police said he left no written explanation of his suicide. The bullet, which Long fired into his mouth, lodged in his neck, severing part of the spinal cord.

Long was for 13 years probably the highest paid eoitor of all time He was best known as editorial chief of the Cosmopolitan magazine, a post he held from 1919 to 1931. During that time his salarv and bonuses amounted to an estimated *189.000 a year. His secret of success, he often said, was giving the public the kind of things he himself liked to read. Ernest Hemingway’s “Fifty Grand” left him cold. He rejected it. Long was born in Lebanon, Ind. and had only an ordinary education in Indianapolis public school. Judging stories or writing, he handled words “by ear.” he said, not by knowledge of grammar. He entered newspaper work as a copy boy on the Indianapolis | News and became a reporter at 22. He worked there with Roy W. Howard. Booth Tarkington,

George Ade. Meredith Nicholson. ; and others who achieved promin- < ence from their Hoosier origin. Afterward he worked successively as news editor of the Indianapolis Star and the Kansas City Post, managing editor of the Cincinnati Post; the Cleveland Press, and Hampton’s magazine. Recognition of his uncanny insight into readers' tastes carried him to managing editorship of the Red Book, at Chicago, in 1912. Six years later William Randolph Hearst made him president and editor-in-chief of the International Magazine Company. Inc. This gave him editorial supervision over International-Cosmo-politan. Good Housekeeping. Harper’s Bazaar, Motor and Motor Boating. But in July, 1931, he chucked the magazine field to pursue his life-long ambition, publication of books. His first venture at publishing, in partnership with Richard R. i Smith, ended in bankruptcy in j 1933. The crash found Long far; away in the south seas. He stay-1 cd there, sailing near Tahiti, a year. On returning he wrote and edited movies for Fox Film Corporation. I.ast November he returned to the magazine field. He became editor of the McFadden publications. “Photoplay” and “Shadowplay.” then associate editor of
